Chapter Seven

‡

JENNA HAD BEEN bucking for the high-intensity stories, hoping to capture the attention of the major news networks and maybe landing a job in a town bigger than Waco. But she refused to give up coverage of one of her favorite non-profit events. The fundraiser for the local children’s shelter was something she volunteered for every year.

Waking to an empty bed, after a night of mind-blowing sex, had started her day with the disappointing conclusion she’d struck out on luring Dustin back to her side. Sure they’d had great sex, but it hadn’t made him want to stick around.

Her only hope lay in the fact he’d left his duffle bag on the floor in her living room. He had to come back for it, and when he did, she hoped she’d be there to tempt him into her bed for one more night. If she played her cards right, they’d have repeat performances through the week and by the time he had to report back to his unit, he’d realize he still loved her and wanted to be with her for the rest of his life.

Yeah, and pigs fly.

Toby packed up his camera, while Jenna said goodbye to the children.

Together, they walked out to the parking lot. The hot sun beat down on Jenna, draining her energy.

“Could it get any hotter?” Toby pushed a hand through his shaggy hair, beads of sweat popping out on his forehead.

“The weatherman was right when he said we were in for a dry summer. We could sure use a good drenching rain to refill the reservoirs.”

“I hear the prairie fire they’re fighting northwest of town has consumed six hundred acres already.”

“What prairie fire?” Jenna shook off her heat-induced lethargy. “Why didn’t you say something earlier?”

“I thought you would have heard about it on the police scanner.” Her cousin shrugged. “Besides, you always cover the children’s shelter fundraiser. They sent Steve to cover the fire this morning.”

“Damn. Fires get national attention.” Jenna’s shoulders slumped. “But you’re right. I wouldn’t miss covering the fundraiser for the kids.” She pulled her phone out of her purse and checked her text messages. “I’m worried about Rebecca.”

“Have you heard from her since yesterday?”

“No. I’m worried they might have found her cell phone.”

“I wish you could have talked her out of going back.”

“I couldn’t. She wouldn’t leave her mother there.”

“Any mother who’d get her daughter involved in something like that should have her head examined.”

“For all outward appearances, they’re a peaceful community, sharing the fruits of their labors.”

“Then why the high walls, fences and tight rules? To me, it spells fanatics and brainwashing.”

“I’m with you.” She tapped her finger to her chin, sweat dripping between her breasts. “I need to get in there and see for myself what’s going on.”

“Is she supposed to be at the farmer’s market today?”

“I think so. I’ll check it out.” And if she wasn’t there, Jenna would have to get inside the compound and figure out what was going on.

“Oh, no.” Toby laid a hand on her arm.
